He posted David Axelrod's "Holy
Thursday" , a track from Songs of Experience,
a slice of psychedlic jazz circa 1968. If you're not familar
with Axelroad's solo work, you probably know him as the producer of
the widely praised "Mercy Mercy Mercy" by Cannonball Addlerly, with
whom he worked for years. Otehr production credits of note include
Harold Land's The Fox, and releases from David McCallum, the
Electric Prunes (!) and Nat Adderly.

Crate differs from around the world sample his work regularly in
hip-hop tunes (he's a fixture on the
Blue Break Beats series), and even the

appear in a number of songs, including Apache's "Tonto", Artifacts'
"C'mon wit Da Git Down", Beatnuts'"Hit Me with That", Black Sheep's
